Juventus have confirmed that defender Daniele Rugani has tested positive for coronavirus.
The Serie A club announced they will implement the necessary isolation procedures.
Individuals who have come into contact with the 25-year-old will also be checked, according to the Italian giants.
Rugani becomes the first star from the Italian top flight to have contracted the virus.
Juventus added that Rugani, who was an unused substitute during the 2-0 victory against Inter Milan last weekend, is ‘currently asymptomatic’.
Following Wednesday’s shock news, Inter themselves confirmed they have suspended all competitive activities until further notice.
The impact of the news remains unclear, although it is likely to hold substantial consequences for both Serie A and the Champions League.
Football Italia report that the Old Lady held a training session on Wednesday, and according to further reports, both Juventus and Inter are now in quarantine following the news.
